Gareth Southgate has named four uncapped players in his first squad since being named England manager on a permanent basis – while there are recalls for Jermain Defoe and Jake Livermore.
Michael Keane of Burnely, West Ham United’s Michail Antonio as well as Southampton pair Nathan Redmond and James Ward-Prowse will all be hopeful of winning their first caps away in Germany or against Lithuania at Wembley Stadium connected by EE.
Captain Wayne Rooney is absent through injury, but the squad has been bolstered with the addition of in-form Sunderland striker Defoe, who made his debut against Sweden in April 2004 – Southgate’s final game in a Three Lions shirt.
Livermore’s only previous senior international cap was in a 2-1 victory against Italy in August 2012. The last outfield West Bromwich Albion player to appear for England was Steve Hunt in a 2-0 defeat by USSR in 1984.
